I'll start saving now and turn it into an extra few days - Trad Shoot and then off to a Hunt or maybe the other way around

Kerry sounds like this one is coming together and shaping up nicely. We travelled through your area on the way home today, no idea where the range is though. Looking forward to your first shoot in 74 sleeps time.

I remember seeing a sign for a maze, and thought how cool would that be - place 10 targets around the maze toward the exit and you've got to find them all before you come out..... whatya reckon????? hee hee hee

we managed to get some more work done on our third range yesterday,this range although flatter has some very ( interesting ) shots on it.So bring your sense of fun folks, it promises to be a hoot. :Sleep how many of these Sue ?

Hey Kerry,

is this going to be a real Trad Shoot - make your own groups, shoot at your own pace, self knocked arrows allowed etc - or will you be following strict ABA rules??

It's a long way to come and then be told I can't shoot my self-knocked arrows.

best regards,

Temudjin
